shouldnt left the reserve league

Of course we should.the results mean little,what matters is each lads gets to compete in a more competitive game.

we hardy play and friendlies or matches against teams like oldham in the senior cup are not competitive.

Is anyone really arsed about how well the youth team does as a group? Obviously i want us to go far in the fa youth cup and this next gen league but not at the expense of producing a Andrew Tutte than a Xavi.

They have all learnt more tonight than battering them 5-0.

To an extent no - but I want them to get through to the knockout stages, surely this could only benefit them as it'd mean more matches against different European clubs in a high concept tournament.

this level is about player development and experience. Positive team results are merely a bonus.

Good job you can't get relegated from the NextGen cause we are truly shite at the moment. Hopefully we won't blow millions on a youth squad that produces jack shit ala Chelsea.

Did anyone follow my Twitter as i'll do it in future if you want an alternative to the OS coverage?

That was an abysmal performance both from most individuals and as a team.Celtic seemed quicker,stronger,more aware,had a better first touch and were overall more organised than we were.

Back to the drawing board after this one.

Well it sounds like Roman had a good game at least, two more goals for him. Suarez getting most of the hype but Roman is delivering.

I would have sworn Roman got the first and Suarez the 2nd. Roman was mostly awful tonight and at times a liability as he was giving the ball away far too often and in bad areas as well.His goal was a joke goal as you will see when you watch the highlights eventually on the OS.

Suarez was probably City's best player and I still thought he had a poorish game but at least his goal was a wonderful goal.

Our youth team is just not as good as we think it is!! Thats the fact and yet still people dig into Mancini for not giving the youth a chance..
